ZSH

Replace bash with zsh (it offers some nice plugins and themes).

brew install zsh zsh-completions

Install oh-my-zsh – “A delightful community-driven (with 1,000+ contributors) framework for managing your zsh configuration.”

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

To update oh-my-zsh, run upgrade_oh_my_zsh in zsh shell.

Pick your set of plugins (edit .zshrc file):
plugins=(git brew gem ruby rvm rails yarn npm)

Pick a theme (.zshrc):

ZSH_THEME="af-magic"

If you're on OSX Sierra, then you need another step:
create ~/.ssh/config with this content:

Host *
  UseKeychain yes
  AddKeysToAgent yes
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Generate github SSH Keys – https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

Add generated ssh key to your keychain, so you don’t have to reenter your ssh passphrase:

 ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa 

Rails/Ruby/RVM/rbenv

If using rvm with zsh, add this to your .zshrc:

[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"

If you use rbenv, you may need to add this to your .zshrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/shims :$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"


Exercism

For exercism zsh completions, add

if [ -f ~/.config/exercism/exercism_completion.zsh ]; then
. ~/.config/exercism/exercism_completion.zsh
fi

And run

$ mkdir -p ~/.config/exercism/
$ curl http://cli.exercism.io/exercism_completion.zsh > ~/.config/exercism/exercism_completion.zsh
